Vegan High-Protein Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
Craving Thin Mints? Make This High-Protein Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats Recipe
While devouring a chocolate mint brownie at my local vegan bakery, I had an epiphany: why have I never created this perfect flavour combination in oatmeal form? And boom — this recipe for mint chocolate chip overnight oats was born.
Offering over 21 grams of hunger-satiating protein and more than eight grams of filling fibre, you'll not only satisfy your chocolate cravings but you'll stay full and energetic for hours. If you have fresh mint leaves, you can add them for extra fresh flavour, but if not, peppermint extract works perfectly.
